Puerto Rico is an amazing island and best kept secret in terms of all inlusive destination elopement experiences and vacations. Many people want to visit Puerto Rico because it’s a great way to experience the Caribbean and not have to leave the U.S. since it’s a U.S. territory.

As an elopement videographer and photographer, I’ve seen time and time again how eloping can be such a rewarding and meaningful way to celebrate your marriage. If you’re looking for a place to do that on the beaches in paradise, this video will break down every thing you need to know about eloping in Puerto Rico from locations, getting your marriage licenses and I’ll even take you around the island so you can see for yourself what this place is all about.
Legality:
Getting married in Puerto Rico is not as complicated as you may think. It only takes a few steps and documents and you’ll be good to go. I’ll put a link in the description straight from the Puerto Rican tourism board on what you need to bring to receive your marriage license here but will just breeze through everything pretty quickly here.
How to Get Marriage License:

Identification
Birth Certificates
Medical Clearance
Affadavit of Intention (Be prepared with an affidavit stating that you’re coming to Puerto Rico specifically to get married and that you’ll return to your place of residence after the wedding.)
IRS Stamp for $150 to file paperwork
Officiant: Your officiant must be registered to preside over weddings in Puerto Rico. If you’re set on having someone from home perform the ceremony, your best bet is to hire a local to serve as the Officiant of Record on the legal documentation.
Now, let’s get onto the fun part…
After many visits to Puerto Rico, here’s my personal list of some of my favorite elopement spots on the island. There’s a ton of information out there about places to go and visit but here are just a few of my faves.
Old San Juan - Colorful streets, awesome forts, museums and nightlife, old san juan is the center of all the action on the island. This is without a doubt one of the most iconic places in Puerto Rico and whether or not you choose to have your ceremony here, old san juan is a must if you’re visiting here.
El Yunque Rainforest - The only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system, Home to more than 240 types of trees, unique birds, native species like the coquí frog, and beautiful scenery, the forest spans 28,000 acres of land that includes 25 waterfalls, several rivers, and ancient petroglyphs of Taíno deities. Only a one hour drive from San Juan, you can either navigate it on your own or take a guided tour to get to the most popular locations. Choose between hiking, ziplining, or horseback riding, and fall in love with the astonishing view from the top of the forest overlooking the region’s lush valleys. Make sure to get a timed entry permit!! https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/300...
Culture: Finally, while on the island, you can’t miss a few of the street festivals and concerts. Bomba is one of the musical styles unique to Puerto Rico and absolutely awesome to listen to. Beyond Bomba there are a lot of street festivals with that latin flare to get you feet moving to the local rhythms and tunes. Eat local street food from food trucks, keep your eyes and ears open for any sort of local Puerto Rican culture while you’re here because you’ll definitely get a good feel on why this place is on the top of my list to visit time and time again.
To conclude, as I’ve mentioned in a few of my other elopement planning videos linked up above, really try to focus on creating an experience of things you love to do together. If you love traveling and exploring new places together, this could be a perfect option for your elopement. If you’re wanting to sit by the beach and relax with a beautiful sunset over the water after a day of saying your vows and doing mellow waterfront tropical beach walks, Puerto Rico could be the place for you!!
